I came to NOVA Academy because a lot of my family has graduated from here. I am happy that I get to experience all that NOVA has to offer, like their family and college classes.

NOVA Academy is a safe place for kids. Free of drugs and violence. Teachers and staff are very professional with everyone. We are glad to have our son completing high school at NOVA.

I enjoy attending NOVA Academy because of the small campus, the student climate, and the college classes they have to offer as part of their dual enrollment through College of the Desert and UCI.
